0.00 to 21.00: You are in the state of creation

21.00 to 41.00: You are in the state of maintenance

41.00 to 61.00: You are enlightened

61.00 to 81.00: You are so close to Plurk Nirvana

81.00 to 99.99: You have reached Plurk Nirvana!

Karma 100+

So what do you have to do to make your karma higher?1. Plurk hard EVERYDAY maximum of 29 plurks a day with an interval of at least 3 to 4 hours2. Gain Fans and Referrals3. Plurk something interesting. Gaining responds to your plurks will help a lot4. Update your profile (profile picture, birthday, location, etc)What things you should avoid? 1. Spamming other plurkers2.

Getting unfollowed by your friends or fansI hope this helps! :D

Hello plurkers!!

I freeze my karma last few years to focus on my studies. Now that I have graduated from the College of Nursing, I decided to continue enjoying plurking.

What do I miss about plurk?

1. The Timeline View

Not everyone has been happy with it but changing the way the information is displayed was a bold move, and ultimately the right one. The new layout performs exactly as expected. The timeline scrolls left to right, with the most recent data at the left. You can control the timeline using the trackpad or the arrow keys. Since the messages are arranged in chronological order, and because sometimes people send messages at the same time, this view also let's you easily read a large number of messages at the same time.

2. The One Line Messages

Just like the timeline view, the one line message layout is such a simple idea that at first it's very easy to not even notice it. But take a second and you'll notice that Plurk displays the avatar, a qualifier, a message snippet, and the number of replies for the message, all on one line. Again this allows you to easily read or ignore a large number of messages based on who posted the message, what qualifier the user used, and how many responses the message already has. This way you can skip between messages as you deem important, rather than looking at conversations from a top-down view.

3. The Red Flag Replies and Update Boxes

The best part of Plurk is the constant chatter. Once you log in and add some friends, it's hard to get away. The reason for this is the way Plurk announces new activity to you. Unlike other services where you have to go looking for replies, on Plurk, every reply sticks out like a red flag. Every time someone posts a message you can see how many people replied to it, and with one click, read all the replies like a threaded conversation.

First, because the replies clearly stick out, you are bound to check them fairly quickly after they are posted, and second, because every Plurk message that is posted gets it's own conversation page (where all the replies are threaded and easy to follow), more people are likely to reply to a message and start conversations. Finally, because your Plurk page isn't static, and tells you every time you have new replies or your friends post a new message, you are more likely to check out what other people are up to.

4. The Inline Attachments

It is a user interface improvement but it's also a feature. Unlike other sites, where you can just post link to media, on Plurk, whenever you link to a picture, song, or video, the media is immediately visible/playable from within the message and you can double click it to get to the original source.

5. And Everything Else
Finally, another great Plurk feature that most people forget about is that the design offers so much information but is never overwhelming or confusing to navigate. All the chatting and microblogging activity takes place above the scroll to encourage maximum engagement, while everything else (like user info and activity stats, friends and fans, and mobile links) is below the scroll and out of the way.
